Re: The Good, The Bad and... -- The Mandalorian ? ? ?

Hey Old no7,
I just started watching this and I'm halfway through season 1. You're right, good show and after the first episode I was sure they had dubbed in Clint's voice. I hadn't thought about the plot line but now that you mention it it certainly does resemble Clint's spaghetti westerns.

Gentleman,
Is there any reason you can't remove a button mag original to an 1892 in .32-20 and replace it with a full size mag tube and spring. I'm not concerned about the value being diminished. I just would like more rounds available.
